   Had lunch yesterday. The sea bass tostada was very unique and delicious with layers of beans and rice and super fresh crisp tortillas topped with perfectly grilled fish, lettuce, pivo avocado and a chili crema.

   I've been there many times in the past months, love the restaurant, the menu and the people who work there. This time I had the salmon once again and instead of being tender and succulent as before, it was overcooked and dry. Because I was with a friend treating me to lunch, I said nothing. On other occasions other fish dishes were occasionally cooked too long as well; but when it was done right, it was wonderful. As I will continue to come, I would so appreciate it if the fish could be cooked until just done and no more.

    First time back since the pandemic, should not have waited so long. Started with cocktails from the bar, ended with Raspberry Rhubarb Crumble. Every course in between was delightful.

    Everything was great except trying to talk over the noise level, found it very difficult to have a decent conversation with our visitors without raising ones voice. Was very uncomfortable having to talk over the others next to us. My suggestion: - do not get caught up in one of the corner booths - do not get a table that is surrounded by other tables - try to get a table that is on the outer perimeter of the floor Our service person was even having a hard time hearing our orders and requests. The service was great, the food was great.

    We hadn't been to Kingfisher in a long, long time and were pleasantly pleased with the updated dining room. They had kept the "road trip" menu which we had always liked. The food was good and not overpriced. Wine and drinks were also moderately priced.

    My second bad experience at King Fisher this summer. My dinner of Chicken (huli-huli style) was awful. So salty, not at all like I expected, server was not attentive, and brought desert menus to us before we even got the entree. This is my second time this summer where I've brought out of town guests, not sure if I will return. This used to be one of my favorite places.

    Only negative would be that we sat at least 1/2 hour waiting on a check. I will say there was lots of food still on our plates, but we had even pushed them out a little to make it more obvious that we were through eating. It was interesting because we kept noticing that there were workers walking the floor and being "seemingly" observant.

    I enjoy their summer road trips. Loved the fried oysters and the crawfish etouffee (half of which I took home). Also a good Grovers Martini (with gin and blue cheese stuffed olives) was very refreshing. Good service for ONE.

    We were disappointed (although our friends joining us were not). Ribs and sea bass both left much to be desired. Fish and chips seemed ok but nothing extraordinary. The staff who greeted us upon arrival were very friendly, but our server was curt, forgot or refused to remember our requests re: preparation of certain items, now the bill was to be split, etc.

    We had the Hawaiian Monk fish and Steelhead Trout, both if which we did substitutions on sides and both were absolutely delicious. We did the grilled shrimp appetizer which was flavorful and had several cocktails, all of which was delivered on time. Our meal was piping hot but cooked to perfection! The server just calculated the bill incorrectly but caught it and that was not an issue. For just under 100$ everything was perfect.

    The food was predictably delicious. The only trouble here is deciding what to order. We ordered off their “Pacific Northwest road trip” menu and the food was outstanding. Only wish they would add some of these items to their regular menu.

    Seated promptly. Took 10 mins before we were visited by a waiter. Person serving water was drenched in perfume. Our soda was flat. The water tasted strange. The trout was not the best I’ve ever had. The clam chowder was the high point of the meal.

    My birthday. We always start with fresh oysters. 1 dozen , 6 from Washington state and six from British Columbia which were truly outstanding. It was the last day of the Pacific Northwest Road Trip. I had the smoked salmon belly bruschetta of which the taste combinations melded so well in the mouth to absolute deliciousness. Grilled Arctic Char cooked perfectly and extremely fresh, piping hot cappuccino had a nice high foam, and along with my apple blackberry cobbler with ice cream was just the right ending to the meal. We come here because the quality of food both in freshness and preparation is unmatched anywhere else in Tucson. Very nice bar too with innovative modern cocktails along with some lovely old standards tweaked towards todays palette.

    We’ve eaten at the Kingfisher at least ten times and have enjoyed every meal. They are consistent in their food and service. Great Tucson vibe. Coming from New England it’s great to find a great fresh seafood restaurant.

    Kingfisher is always amazing. It starts with the hostess, a most delightful lady with massive and fantastic boots. Our server was efficient, helpful, welcoming, and funny. The food was great. The oyster bar sampler has everything you could want to start a meal and both my trout and my wife's paella was great.

    The service was great but the food mediocre. My husband had clam chowder and Cesar salad, I had the grilled fish sandwich. All the food needed more seasoning as it tasted bland. The chowder had lots of clams but the white sauce/broth was bland and pasty. The Cesar was bland with no hint of anchovies. The fish sandwich was ok, the fries and slaw good.

    There were 4 of us. One Sea Bass, 1 Trout, 2 Hawaiian Fish. They liked their meals. My Yellow tail was dry & the spinach very plain. My husband ordered coffee and was charged full price for a refill. I ordinarily love this restaurant, but didn't enjoy it this time.
